I can't stand by and watch stuff like this happen around here. I will not support subverses (by featuring them or making them defaults) with moderators who impose questionable rules such as "your post has to end with a questionmark". Moderators need to calm their tits and focus on nurturing and growing their communities. Rules can always be bent and what better time to bend the rules then now, while Voat is still growing and under development?

I am thankful for moderators who help keep Voat spam-free and I respect your work. I really do. I started working on automoderator for comments and submissions and your job will be made much easier when this is implemented, but for the time being, moderators need to relax and focus on removing spam and eventual illegal content. If I submit a new post and it gains some traction (hundreds of comments, views and upvoats), and my post gets removed because I broke a rule by forgetting to include a question mark in my submission title... well, I would be pissed. People take removal of their comments and submissions very seriously and moderators must think twice before removing stuff if they want to avoid offending users. Voat has a ranking process where time acts as gravity and older posts will eventually fall off the frontpage. Voat also has automatic public moderation logs and everything you remove will still be visible in these modlogs and your actions may be questioned by the community, just like what happened yesterday.

This action can be reverted if /askvoat mods can convince us that the issue has been dealt with or if some other, less restrictive community takes over.

Thanks for the nomination but I would have to decline and would prefer the askvoat community or a trusted mod would make a selection, I just don't think I have the proper amount of time or experience to manage such a large sub that needs attention. Once again thank you for suggesting me.

Nah, dude went on a tirade. There's all sorts of posts antagonizing her. He's the exact opposite....which is still not what you want as a moderator. Borderline obsessed with one user. His passion for hunting down censorship is admirable for a site that doesn't censor. But these are not moderator qualities.
